Default Picco .46 laying around

I've got a picco 46 laying around from my DF days, and am looking for a prop-speed plane to put it in. I don't mind deltas, infact kind of like them, but don't want to hand / dolly launch. I have a set of retracts, so that's an option too. The biggest thing I don't like about the pusher planes is the way the exhaust sits, but I can get over that )

I prefer ARF as my building time is very limited right now, and I'd rather fly than build.

I've thought about the Bobcat 50, but thinking my engine may not be quite enough for it - I figure it's more of a Jett 60 type plane.

Thought about a Quickie 500 type planes, but none ready for retracts, and think that their wing thickness is a little stout (but maybe I'm wrong)

Any suggestions? To recap, speed, retracts (to increase speed), etc. Oh yeah, the picco is a rear exhaust, which I think may cause some problems on some airframes.

any suggestions would be great, and thanks in advance
